All along the old back road
The people stop to talk at her garden gate
While inside the family cried all through the night
Cause the old woman had passed away
I loved her so and though she was a special one
A lovely lady and a gentle old soul
And she taught me to sing and old folk song
It's got a melody of a hundred years ago
And she sang a come a lou come a lou come a hi lo
Come down the merry stream
I'm remembering
Those memories have given me so much
She wore her age so gracefully
And there was not a living thing that she did not love
And I pray that there is a little of her in me
Oklahoma in the summertime
In her rockin' chair she's a singing there on the porch
While the hounds a howling through the hot black night
And that ole fox well he's a running like he never has done before
When you hear the melody and when I play my song
Every note you hear from me she's singing right along
And she sang a come a lou come a lou come a hi lo
Come down the merry stream
I'm remembering
All along the old back road
People stop to talk at her garden gate
While inside the family cried all through the night
Did you hear that old Mrs Whitten has passed away today
Come a lou come a lou come a hi lo
Come down the merry stream
Come a ram tam tam and a dippy dippy dow
Hear the row the bow wow wow
The bugle's horn the big fi-diddle and the hidey ho
Through the woods were gonna roam boys
Through the woods were gonna roam...
